Origin

In order to discover and harvest novel extremophile microorganisms for use in cosmetics, an expedition was undertaken to a glacier in Valais, Switzerland. Due to the constant shrinking of glaciers in the past few decades, microbes that were previously hidden below a permanent layer of ice have now become accessible. Samples taken from the soil were analyzed for their microbial content. Whole genome sequencing of an isolated strain led to the identification ofIodobacter ssp., a psychrotolerant rod shaped gram-negative bacterium, which has been reawakened following many years lying dormant below the glacier ice layer.
